When he was 20 years old he made a road trip from Georgia, where he grew up and was living at the time, to Bolivia and back. Over a six month period in 1974 he traveled overland to every country in Central America, to Roatan Island in the Caribbean, and to Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia, in South America, . This would be his first major photographic project, intended to test his mettle as a photographer and determine whether photography would be his calling in life. The trip became a transformative event during which he developed a lifelong bond with Latin America. Many years later the experience would became influential to his 2014 book \u003cem\u003eCreole World: Photographs of New Orleans and the Latin Caribbean Sphere\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNamed after the year of the trip, the camera he took with him--a used Leica M4, and the destination, this is the story, in word and image, of his genesis as a photographer. It's also a compelling portrait of Latin America in the mid-70s as seen through the eyes of a young photographer exploring the world for the very first time. And it's a travelogue from another era when travel was truly an adventure, before mobile phones, the internet, GPS, and a host of other technologies made the world a much smaller, more connected, place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Sexton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8218010971\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798218010973\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Capitola Art Press, New Orleans\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/10\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.94h x 8.98w x 0.39d","brand":"Richard Sexton","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46670533755135,"sku":"9798218010973","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_066073a7-66c1-4362-9edb-123767123c55.jpg?v=1741316985","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/74m4latin-america-richard-sexton-9798218010973","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
